Book Says China Behind
9-11

by Christopher A. Ferrara

On Saturday,
December 15, WorldNetDaily.com reported the publication of a new book by Gordon
Thomas, entitled Seeds of Fire. Thomas thesis is that "Beijing is
positioning itself to become America's new major enemy" and that
China used bin Laden as a surrogate to demonstrate that America can be
defeated.

WorldNet notes some
of the evidence presented in Seeds of Fire. According to Thomas, "on
Sept. 11, a transport plane from Beijing landed in Kabul. A Chinese delegation
had gone to Afghanistan to sign a deal with the Taliban - reportedly brokered
by Osama bin Laden - to provide the Afghans with missile-tracking technology,
state-of-the-art communications and air-defense systems. In return, says
Thomas, the Taliban would order Muslim separatists in northwest China to stop
their activities."

In fact, the Washington Post has also confirmed that Beijing had "signed a deal with
the Taliban to provide Afghanistan with much needed infrastructure and
economic development assistance."

Due to the fall of
the Taliban after 9-11, says Thomas, China never delivered the promised
military hardware. But the delegation that went to Kabul on 9-11, the very day
of the terrorist attack, included "senior officers of the People's Liberation
Army and the Bureau of State Security, as well as managers from two of China's
leading defense contractors." No sooner had the Red Chinese delegation landed
in Kabul than (according to Thomas) "CIA Director George Tenet received a coded
red alert message from Israeli Mossad agents that presented a
worst case scenario - that China would use a surrogate, bin Laden,
to attack the United States."

Further, according
to Thomas, Pakistans chief intelligence officer met with Tenet on
September 11 and briefed him on "the links between bin Laden and China,"
advising Tenet that "China had made a decisive decision [and] was prepared to
infuriate America and its allies in supporting bin Laden and the Taliban
because Afghanistan fitted into China's own long-term strategic plans." Since
9-11, of course, China has offered no assistance in the campaign against bin
Laden. Quite the contrary, notes Thomas, in China there were "happy parties in
the streets of Beijing" after the Twin Towers collapsed, and "They're selling
videos there with commentary saying, America had it coming."

Thomas believes that
President Bushs decision to pull out of the ABM treaty "will cause Russia
and China to strengthen their ties - to the detriment of the United States."
But we neednt worry about that. After all, Russia has been "consecrated"
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and is even now undergoing a "conversion." So
the useful idiots of Fatima revisionism continue to insist - as the forces of
evil in Russia and China coil together in the darkness, preparing a final
assault on what remains of our civilization.
